About Community Dementia Team (CDT)

The Community Dementia Team is a group of professionals who provide case management, assessment, information and direct care to clients with dementia who have complex needs and their families/carers in their own homes. The team will also refer to other agencies such as Day Centres, Linen Service and Home Care Care. Services provided include assessment, assistance with personal hygiene, medication monitoring/administration, socialisation, supervision of client safey, nutrition monitoring and strategies to asssist in managing difficult behaviours. The Team will apply to the Administration and Guardianship Board if the patient does not have the capacity to make an informed decision. Clients must have a diagnosed Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease or other related disorder and live in the greater Launceston area. The Community Dementia Team runs the Mayne Street Day Centre for people with dementia.
